The Avenger D200 2.5" Grip Head is designed to hold grip arms, scrims, flags, etc. The head has a non-slip T-Top rubber grip handle cover to give you a firm grasp on it. It has a 5/8" Baby receiver for light stands and an automotive-quality brake pad for a secure hold on accessories.

I just received three of these. The quality is superb and the things are very customizable. Remember, Avenger is now owned by Manfrotto. You can stick any 5/8 pole, rod, whatever through the baby pin side. There are two threads on the baby pin side, which means you can mount a top on the other end too. You just need a set screw you can get at any hardware store. I mount two of these on top of each other using that technique.

I liked the price, but when I received it in the mail I was hesitant about the quality. Right away it bound up when tightening the head and it took some coaxing to get it ti work. As long as you don't abuse it too much, I guess it will last long enough to get your money's worth. Next time I will stick with the tried and true Matthews C-Stand products.

First of all Joe McNally and Scott Kelby use Avenger, and they can easily afford the very best. But Avenger is not that pricey. This grip head is sturdy, very well built, heavy, and looks good. Nice big cushioned T handle that easily secures your boom or grip arm. Connects solidly to your stand and has two openings so you can choose which position is best for tightening to your stand. Rock solid and easily worth the price. I also have a cheap plastic version which is going in the trash. Buy this.

While the construction is first rate, I purchased it to attach a boom arm to my Avenger Stand. Well, there is absolutely no need for it if you order a boom arm which comes with a socket to attach to the top of the stand. In fact, until I found a use for it, and the lovely people at B&H were a bit clueless as to what boom to recommend, never having recommended the Kupo boom which fits into the jaws of this perfectly, I though I had purchased an almost useless product for my purposes.

I'm a professional sound man and professional photographer using much of the same grip gear in both roles.

I already have Matthews and American Grip heads and stands. I bought Avenger grip heads for the two threaded hole choices for locking to various studs... AND FOR THE WEIGHT specified.

I expected to save nearly a quarter pound from the top of each stand, but Manfrotto's listed spec is wrong. The grip head weighs 1.377 lbs, not 1.21. Specifically, it's 625 grams.

The MSE (Matthews) Grip heads (black ones, chrome may be a gram or two less) weigh 635 grams. So what's the weight savings here? A third of an ounce! 10 grams... or in laymen's terms, nothing.

The MSE Grip heads also have a smart way to fit any stand, by simply flipping the stud side over. Compare the rubber boot and Avenger knob to the wonderfuly ergo knob on the MSE grip head. The MSE knob is a tactile work of art. From fully loose, try to "spin-down" each of these grip heads. The MSE head will spin down with a flick. The Avenger head must be turned like a hose spigot.

The Avenger Grip Head would deserve 5 stars for the weight savings over the competition, IF THAT WAS CORRECT, but the trade-offs, for 10 grams? I appreciate MSE's design choices much more. The rubber boot on the grip doesn't compare to the ergonomic comfort and leverage of the robust grip on the MSE Grip Head.

So, while I wouldn't recommend this grip head to a friend, it's only because I'd tell him or her to get the MSE Grip Head instead, for the same money.

Pretty simple. Avenger added a rubber grip that won't last forever but seems pretty tough. Much more confortable to use and when it does wear out there's a normal metal handle underneath. Other than that it's a pretty standard quality grip head. Feels plenty solid.
